- _ SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We had stipposed, if ever Protestantism had a firm and unflinchi4 supporter, our Contemporary of the Standard was that supporter. It, was, therefore, with dismay un- speakable that we yesterday found our Contemporary going out of his way to give a sly stab to Protestantism, by singling out a body of Popish Indians as affording a strong exemplification of the blessed effects wrought by pure Christianity on the human character. In a leading article commenting on the intelligence from Canada there occurs the following passage : " An interesting and instructive incident of the war is de teribed to have now occurred. While an Indian tribe, re- claimed to Christianity, were engaged in worship at their bumble temple, a woman of their tribe announced to them a considerable mustering of rebels in the adjacent woods ; the red men promptly arose from their devotions to the defence of the beneficent Government that had protected and instructed tehm—seized such rude arms as the time and place afforded— sounded their tremendous war-whoop—threw themselves upon the ungrateful traitors—defeated and dispersed them, making seventy-five prisoners, who were conducted safe and uninjured to Montreal— Tanta religio potuit.' These are the sons of men but sixty years ago described, and almost without exaggeration, as the hell-hounds of savage war,' but Christianity has made them merciful, surely without detracting from their fidelity or valour. This is a lesson to England—this is the mode of securing allies that will never fail us in the hour of trial. The ' schoolmaster is abroad with his primer,' says Lord Brougham, and he may defy the soldier. We wish the schoolmaster all success ; but if he go abroad with his primer alone, and go unaccompanied, his defiance may, end sometimes will be, directed against the best interests of mankind. It is the preacher and his Bible whose mission is sure to produce no evil—whose mission is sure to bless those to whom they are sent, and to reflect substantial bles sings upon the sender." It is not to be supposed for one moment that our Con temporary, who is so well informed on all subjects, could be ignorant of what is a matter of notoriety to those who pos sess any knowledge of Montreal and its vicinity, that the Caughnawaga Indians are and have always been Papists since their first conversion to Christianity under the old French Government. They had a French priest like the French Canadians. It will be seen from a letter in our city article, that they were at vespers at the time the squaw gave the information of the approach of the rebels. That they would be greatly improved by Bible reading we do not doubt ; but the fact is, as we are assured, that they are all of them strangers to the Bible. As our Contemporary has sturdily refused to allow any virtue to Papists, and has been particularly anxious to lay the rebellion at the doors of the priests, this praise of the Caughnawaga Catholic Indians does certainly look somewhat suspi- clot's. Our Philadelphia correspondent dwells on what we believe is matter of notoriety, that the priests in Lower Canada are, with hardly an exception, devoted to the Go vernment. But that our Contemporar 's theory, before his backsliding of yesterday, respecting the connection be tween rebellion and Popery, is not very tenable is pretty well evinced in another case. What militia have always shown most alacrity to take the field against the rebels, been most energetic in their movements, and are most re lied on for efficient aid to the army ? The Glengarry Highlanders, an athletic, hardy race of men, who are all Catholics. Bishop James Macdonel, who deservedly pos sesses the greatest influence in Canada, was chaplain of the Glengarry Regiment. We suspect it is deemed no little advantage that the townships of Upper Canada nearest the habitans are occupied by these Catholic Highlanders, in stead of such Protestants as too many of the inhabitants of the London district proved themselves in the late insur rection. So much for the Caughnawaga and Glengarry Papists. —Morning Chronicle. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16, A.M.— One of the most important and favourable features for the Government in Canada, during the late outbreak and up to the present time, is the fact that the Catholic clergy of the Lower Province are entirely opposed to the insurgents. They have in no single instance (as tar as news has hitherto been received) joined in the revolt; but, on the contrary, they have fled with the loyalists and their fami lies, before the approach of the " patriots." I attach more consequence to this feeling of the priesthood than to any other movement or sentiment that has yet transpired. It is calcu lated to exert a powerful and tranquillizing influence on the great mass of the French Canadians; and for one who is urged forward by Nelson, Cote, and others, in this second rebellion, there is little doubt that at least twenty will stay at home, in obedience to the advice of their priests. The natural character of the habitans is that of an almost primitive simplicity. No people in the world are more devoted to their religion, or entertain a more sincere affection for their clergy. It affords me pleasure also to state, which I do from personal information, that the clergy of Canada are, in general, both pious and exemplary ; and, whatever may have been said against them, either in relation to their private or their priestly character, has always been found, on inquiry, to be either decided - calumny or gross misrepresentation. Their feelings arc evidently in favour of the old regime ; for they know that any republican alteration in the Constitution of the province would strike a serious, perhaps a fatal blow, against the Catholic hierarchy. In this matter you will say they arc prompted by an interest for their order. It is true that they are so ; but is not such the case amongst every order of men, both lay and clerical ? Nay, is it not by the strong bond and cement of a self or a mutual interest that every order of men and every public and political institution in the civilised world is up held ? Assuredly such is the fact, and interest is ever more or less the mainspring of our actions. Thus, then, the Canadian clergy do not differ in this particular from other people ; but they also possess, in addit.on, as large a portion of zeal for the Church of their father, and as much piety and morality, as any order of clergy in Christendom; and although not of their persuasion, I feel that it is but an act of justice to record this tribute to their merits. The heads of the Canadian Church are conscious of their flocks having enjoyed as much civil and religious liberty as could possibly exist in a Colonial Government ; while their taxation has been less, far less, than that of any people on the face of the globe. They have not, therefore, regarded the attempted revolution with favour ; and, from the vast influence they possess over their people, there can be no difficulty in predicting that a majority of the French population will not join in the insurrection. A few days ago we alluded in terms of deserved eulogy to the conduct of the civic body of London in marking its detestation of the principles of the slave-trade and slavery, by voting with acclamation a public testimonial of honour to the venerable Clarkson, who, though having for his as sociates and followers, in the great cause of negro emanci pation, many distinguished friends of humanity, yet must be considered the father of the cause, and the founder of African liberty. It is with no less pleasure we have since had to record the humane and truly Christian efforts now making in the City to induce our Government to give its assistance, not to prolong and multiply, as hitherto, the atrocious barbarities which distinguish the Spanish conflict, but to put an end to them by taking effectual measures, with other civilised Governments, for a speedy:and effectual pacifi cation of the unhappy country which is so dreadfully scourged by the furies of civil war. The memorial on this subject, ad dressed to Lords Melbourne and Palmerston, which we pub lished yesterday, we are glad to find has received the signature of the Lord Mayor and the members of the Court of Alder men, besides a great number of respectable and influential persons in the city, of all political parties. We fear our Ministers have so much mixed themselves up in the actual strife, and so associated the name of England with the barbarities committed on one side, that the moral influence of this country, for the purposes of good, must be very much weakened. Still it is highly honourable to the city of London, and may be useful to humanity, that such a memorial has been put forward, which, if it have no other effect may, at least, operate as a remonstrance to our Go. vernment against further dishonouring the character of England by snaking common cause with either of the parties that arc capable of such savage atrocities, whether they be called Christians or Carlists. Most cordially, however, do we join i n th e prayer of the memorial ; for the slave trade itself' never shocked humanity with more revolting horrors than the civil war in Spain. We reprint the prayer of the memorial here, and should be glad to find it practicable In the name, therefore, of suffering humanity, we ven ture to appeal, through your Lordships to our most gracious Queen, and to the ruling powers of the civilised world, and to implore that such measures may be adopted by her Ma jesty's Government, in concert with her Majesty's allies, as shall extinguish a revolting warfare—one that for its cruelty and ferocity can be scarcely paralleled in the page of history, and one that, while it continues, hardens the feelings of sur rounding nations. 4. As men of all parties and opinions, we entreat your Lordships to regard this expression of strong feeling from the City of London as a proof that its inhabitants consider this subject to be one of the highest order that can engage the at tention of their fellow-men; and they trust that the general opinion throughout Europe is, that no policy can be merciful or just, while it neglects the pacification of unhappy Spain." —Morning Herald. A. supplement to the London Gazette was published last night, containing an extract and a copy of despatches from Sir J. Colborne to her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, of the dates of November sth and I 1 th. We subjoin these important documents, which will be found confirmatory of the gratifying intelligence published yester day in the secon d e dition of this paper. It is now ifficaa//y proved, that th e f res h re bellion which lately burs t out i n Canada was resolved upon long before any debate upon Lord Durham's illegal conduct took place in the House of Lords. The Gazette of last evening gives a decisive answer to the outrageously absurd and insolent statement OF the Government papers, that the House of Lords had provoked this new rebellion. The last paragraph of the despatch of Sir J. Colborne states that " No doubt now exists that the leaders of this revolt have been actively em ployed in organising this second attempt to establish a re public in Canada since June." What fresh falsehood will the Chronicle and Globe now invent, since that which they relied upon yesterday was within a few hours exploded by an extraordinary Gazette.—Morning Post. MONEY AND CITY NEWS. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) TIMES.—The funds opened heavily in consequence of the Canadian news, and Consols at one time were sellers for the opening at 93.1. At the close of business they recovered partially, and left off at 931 to for the January account, and 93 to for Money. The transactions in the Foreign market were not of much interest. The private letters from New York are more occupied with the elections than with business. One of them states that they " closed on the Bth ult. in that city, and the Whigs have elected their full ticket to Congress by a ma jority of about I ~500. Both parties are sanguine as to the election of Governor, but it will be some days before the complete returns will be received. The result will go on to England by the Great IVestern, fixed to sail on the ?•?d." 'These letters treat the outbreak in Canada as of no great importance from the first. CHRONICLE.—At the commencement of business affairs in the English Stock market presented a very gloomy complexion, -and there was every appearance of a con siderable fall occurring in Consols, in consequence of the tenor of the first advices which were received from Canada ; but further intelligence from our Canadian possessions gave a better feeling, and the apprehensions of the frequenters of the Stock Exchange soon almost wholly wore away. Foreign Stocks generally were heavy throughout the day, but no material depression occurred in Mexican, as was anticipated, before the opening of the market, would have been the case, in consequence of the military move ment at Tampico in favour of the federal government of 1824, but speculation in them has wholly ceased, and there is very little interest attached to Mexican matters at this moment. They closed at 221 to 23, being a depression of only 1 per cent. The shares of the Birmingham and Great Western Rail way undertakings are rather lower, but in the others there is no alteration. Birmingham closed at 80 to 82 prem. ; ditto (new), 231 to 241 prem. ; Great Western, 111 to 121 prem. ; Southampton, 4 7 to 46 per share ; ditto (new), 20 to 21 prem. ; Leeds and Manchester, 19 to 20 prem. ; Brighton, 3} to 31 dis. ; Blackwall, 2:3- to 1-1 dis. ; and Greenwich, 161 to 17 per share. The state of affairs in Canada has been almost the sole subject of conversation in the city to-day, and those who had only seen the accounts by the packets of the 10th were in the greatest state of alarm ; but, as we have before remarked, the gloomy forebodings were greatly removed by the advices by the packet of the 17th, although many persons still expect, notwithstanding the prompt and ener getic measures adopted to suppress the rebellion, that there will be considerable difficulty in keeping the disaffected en tirely under. POST.—The Stock Markets opened less heavily this morning than was to have been expected, considering the unfavourable nature of the accounts obtained on Sa turday afternoon from Canada. Consols were done in the early part of the day for Money at 031. This, however was the lowest quotation, and purchases of heavy stock to the amount of about 50,0001. having been subsequently made by one of the leading brokers, a decided improvement was experienced before the close of business. The markets were assisted in some degree by the publication in the course of the morning of advices of a later date and of a more agreeable character from Canada and the United States.

Very few letters have been received from either Canada or the United States by this arrival, and, therefore, we are not able to add much to the information already received from either side of the St. Lawrence. In addition to the suspen sion of the specie payments of the banks at Quebec by au thority, of which we have the confirmation by this arrival, it appears that the City Bank of Montreal, the Commercial Bank, and the British Bank of North America, with all the other like institutions, have, by an ordinance of Sir J. Col borne been permitted, if they choose, to suspend their specie payments until the Ist of June next, in consequence of the determined run upon them by the French Canadian or patriot party. To prevent much misapprehension we mention that the " Banque de Peuple" has been included in the same licence, provided it complied with the same terms as those imposed upon the other banks—viz., to render a re turn of their proprietors, assets, and liabilities, which they have never done ; this circumstance we mention to disabuse any idea of political partiality in that matter. In the state of the commerce of the two provinces there does not appear to have been any particular alteration. The fol lowing is a comparative statement of the arrivals, tonnage, and settlers, at the port of Quebec, to 28th of Oct. in inclusive, for the years 1837 and 1838 respectively : Vessels. Tonnage.

One of the most striking features of the meetings which have been hitherto held on this question, and from which we augur the most happy results, is the absence of all political party feeling ; men everywhere perceive that the Corn laws are not only injurious to the country at large, but feel that they have individually a personal interest in a question involving their present and future welfare. The Birming ham merchant sees that he is constantly losing a demand for one or other article which he has been in the habit of shipping to foreign countries, and he naturally fears that the superior cheapness of foreign manufactures may, by and by, deprive him of his trade altogether. A large number of articles which were formerly made at Birmingham for exportation, have altogether ceased to be manufactured, and the article for which Birmingham is proverbial, called " Brumagem buttons." is likely soon to be spoken of as one formerly so called ; for not only have foreign buttons supplanted ours in foreign markets, but it was stated that some description of buttons are regularly imported from France, and, after paying a duty of 30 per cent., are sold in London at lower prices than the same article can be made for in Birmingham ! Gilded toys, another article which formerly gave employment to great numbers of people, it was stated, were now imported from France, paid a duty of 20 per cent., and were sold in Birmingham, as their own manufacture, by those who used to make them there. The copper skimmings for gilding them are imported by the French from Birmingham ! The working men of Birmingham, however, naturally ask, " what is to become of us, if year after year our labour is to be thus superseded by foreigners? Will the landowners find us employment and good wages ? No, they cannot employ their own agricultural labourers, or give them wages enough to buy food for their support. Are we then to lie down and starve?" We leave the landowners to ponder these questions, and to answer them as they iaay ; but we will just add, that last winter, such was the distress of the Birmingham people that, besides the poor's-rates, a sum of upwards of 5,000/. was munificently subscribed for their relief. We again implore the landowners not to shut their eyes to the signs of the times, and seriously to reflect on the danger of long continued injustice. There is no place where the people understand the work ing of the Corn-laws better than at Wolverhampton, and, as might be expected, Mr. Paulton was enthusiastically re ceived. There, as at Birmingham, they have been taught, by the continued loss of the manufacture of various articles, the consequence of shutting out the produce of other coun tries, and the impossibility of selling our goods to those who have nothing else to give for them but corn, unless we are permitted to take corn in exchange for them. The follow ing are among some of the articles which were formerly manufactured at Wolverhampton for exportation to Ger many, but with which the Germans now supply themselves : —Scythes, sickles, coffee-mills, pepper-mills, common knives, hinges, common locks and bolts. These articles are now made so much cheaper in Germany than in Eng land, that the Wolverhampton merchants now supply their foreign orders from that country, and regularly ship large quantities of these things from Hamburg, instead of Liver pool, to all parts of the world ! German travellers now regularly visit English merchants with pattern-books con taining d raw i ngs of the various articles they have on sale, and travellers are specimens of th e same , i n t h e lik e manner that English folks are almost frantic accustomed toit o a t y wonderdo.ls ae when th th e at the y Wolverhampton see these things, or that feelings of bitterness are engendered towards the law-makers, who have thus robbed them of their labour ?-31anchester Times.

THE RIVER DU NN NAVIGATION COMPANY V. THE NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY. _ _ This was an appeal from the order of the Vice-Chan. cellor, refusing a❑ injunction to restrain the defendants from entering on son-p..: parcels of land which the plaintiffs considered to be necessary to them for the proper use of their canal. Mr. WAKEFIELD was this morning heard at considerable length in reply. The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed his judgment. RAWSON V. SAMUEL. This was a motion todise - barge an order of the Vice- Chancellor, which contained an injunction to restrain pro ceedings at law. The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed the argument till to-morrow morning. ROLLS' COURT, DEC. 3. WESTHEAD V. KEANE. This case came before the Court on a general demurrer, The bill was filed for the infringement of a patent against the • defendants Keane and Nicholls, and the London Caoutchouc Company. The ground of demurrer was that the words of specification in the bill were so loose and vague that they would not sustain the patent, and also that there was a mis-joindure of parties. His Lordship the MASTER of the ROLLS said that he thought he was bound by the decision in the case of Day V. Marshall on the first ground of demurrer ; and, on the second, as the parties complained of claimed an interest, he could not allow the demurrer. Ile should, however, give no costs. COURT OF QUEEN' S BENCH, DEC. 3. DANE V. LADY KIRKWALL. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the amount of rent due to him for a house which the defen dant had taken of him under an agreement. It appeared that the plaintiff had been legally pronounced a lunatic subsequently to her taking the house, but the facts of the case will best be seen by the summing up of the Learned Judge, who told the Jury that, though the proof of the un soundness of the defendant's mind was fully satisfactory, yet their verdict must be for the plaintiff, unless they also found that the residence she had taken for herself in Bar row-hill-place was unnecessary for her. If both of these circumstances were established by the evidence, the ver dict of the Jury must be for the defendant. If not, the plaintiff must have a verdict for his demand. As the re cord now stood, there must be a verdict for the plaintiff, on the issue of whether the defendant had entered into the contract or not. But if - the Jury thought that when she did so she was of unsound mind, and that the house was not necessary for her, then the special plea was supported, and on that the defendant must have a verdict. The Jury, after consulting together about ten minutes returned a verdict for the defendant on the special plea. CONSISTORY COURT, DEC. 3. LOCKWOOD V. LOCKWOOD. This was a suit for divorce on the grounds of cruelty, promoted by Lady July Lockwood against Mr. Robert Manners Lockwood, her husband. The parties were mar ried in 1821, and lived together till September, 1834, when they finally separated. There are several children, the issue of the cohabitation. An allegation was this day offered for admission on behalf of the husband, responsive to the libel given in on the other side. The Learned Judge, after hearing counsel, directed the allegation to be reformed. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, DEC 3. IN RE JOHN TODD. This insolvent, who had been before the Court on two former occasions, came up for judgment. The opposition on the part of several creditors was on the ground that the insolvent, an attorney, had incurred a great number of liabilities for Mr. Thomas Halls, the ex magistrate of Bow -street, without reasonable or probable means of paying them ; and, further, that he had been embarrassed, and made away with some property, to the injury of the general body of his creditors. _ . - The insolvent declared that he bad accepted various bills of exchange on the representations of Mr. Halls and a per son named Gompertz, who had acted as his agent ; he ascribed his insolvency to the liabilities he had entered into. It appeared that previously to quitting England, which he did to avoid arrest, he sold a debt due from a gentleman for professional business to a Mr. King, which sale was com• plained of as a making away with property. Mr. WOODROFFE to-day read two certificates, showing that the insolvent was labouring under indisposition. Mr. NICHOLS, {Vho appeared in opposition, said he had seen the amended account filed, and had no further in quiries to make. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN adjudged him, from the date of his petition, to an imprisonment of four calendar months, for making away with his property, to diminish the fund divisible among his creditors. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—DEc. 3. THE WEST INDIA DOCK COMPANY V. THE PARISH OF POPLAR.—TLC Bench was occupied the whole of the day in hearing an appeal of the West India Dock Company against the poor and other rates of the parish of Poplar, chargeable on that portion of their property situated in the parish referred to. The Dock Company were rated at 67,0101. The principle on which the trustees of the pa rish had made the assessment was by squaring the area of the Docks, and estimating the rental at a certain rate per square, not only of the rooms in the basement, but of the first, second, and third floors of the warehouses, and charging also for the open spice of the Docks, such as wharf., basins, &c. It was contended for the appellants that the only fair way of determining the amount of assessment was to ascertain the rent for which the Docks would let, and it was proved that the average profits of the last three pears had been 63,0441. The Magistrates ordered the rate to be reduced to 54,379/. SURREY SESSIONS.-MONDAY. The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in the trial of IVm. Pearson, the master of a trading vessel, who was indicted for obstructing a Thames police officer in the execution of 1 - . is duty. The Jury returned a verdict of Acquittal. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HA7'TON-GARDEN. Yesterday George Ball and Sarah Fenner were placed at the bar, before Mr. BURRELL, charged by Mr. James Hibbet, linen draper, of No. 54, Leather-lane, Holborn, the latter with having robbed him to a considerable amount, and the former with having received part of the property, knowing it to be stolen. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner Fenner, a few months ago, applied to the prosecutor for a situation as maid of all work, when she was received with an excel lent character from her last place ; but she had not been long in the service before various articles were missing from the house and shop, and on several occasions property in gold and silver was missed from the cash-box, which the prosecutor kept in an apartment to which she had access. On Saturday evening, subsequent to her committal, the prisoner Ball called at the shop of the prosecutor to in quire after her, when, being suspected, he was taken into custody. On searching him, some keys were found in his possession, and on proceeding to his lodg ings and searching his boxes, be found a consi derable quantity of twilled calico and other property, and also some letters, written to Ball, in the handwriting of Fenner, showing that a familiar correspondence existed be tween them. The property was identified by the prosecutor, and the prisoner Ball said that he had received it from Fen ner, with whom he had been acquainted two years, and she told him that she had bought it from her master, and he had also received three sovereigns from her, which she said she had received from her mother, who was in the country ; and he confessed to the officer having bought a coat with part of the money. He denied all knowledge of the rob bery, and said that he was in emp l oy a t the Quartermaster - General's office, and bore an unblemished character. Mr. BURRELL said he would remand Ball. He will be brought up again, with the other prisoner, on Saturday next. Q UEEN.SQUARE. Thomas Higgins and Sarah his wife, two m iddl e - age d perso ns, residing at Chiswick, where they had hitherto borne an irreproachable character, were ye s te r d a y pl ace d at the bar, charge d with stealing three sovereigns, two Ira sovereigns, and some silver, the property of Mrs. Mitchell, omnibus proprietor, of Hammersmith, from whom, it ap peared, had been abstracted by the prisoners a reticule, containing the money which formed the subject of these proceedings. Mr. GREGORIE was of opinion the case was clearly made out, and fully committed them for trial at the Central Criminal Court. WORSHIP-STREET. - • Yesterday, Mr. Crew, a collector of rents, was brought up in the custody of police constable of the N division, charged with having attempted to stab Mr. John Allen, paperstainer, of the Kingsland-road. The defendant and the complainant were both attended by solicitors, and a long examination of witnesses took place on both sides, when, as it appeared to the Magistrates that the defendant did not draw the sword, after a very impres sive admonition from Air. Broughton that persons of their respectability should be engaged in such squabbles, the de fendagt was discharged. THAMES-OFFICE. Yesterday a woman named Jane Brown, better known by the cognomen of Irish Jane, who appeared far advanced in pregnancy, was charged before Mr. Greenwood, with stabbing a man, named Sellers, whose life is now in immi nent danger. The prisoner on being asked if she had anything to say, exclaimed, "It was only done a larking. Yer honour's wertchip, sure I had been larking with him all night at the King William." Mr. GREENWOOD—And you stabbed him in a lark? Prisoner—To be sure, I did nothing else. Mr. GREENWOOD said he should remand the prisoner.— The prisoner was then locked up. About two hours afterwards she was again put to the bar, when Catherine Tennant, a woman of the town, said she knew " lrish Jane," and was at the King William on Sunday night. Sellers, the wounded man, came in there, and directly afterwards the prisoner took up a knife from an oyster basket and plunged it in his back. She then re turned the knife to the basket and made her escape. After his wound was dressed he rested himself in a hayloft for a few hours. _ _ Mr. GREENWOOD—WeII, 1 shall remand this woman. If there is any change in the man let me know. The case must be watched. NEW REMEDY FOR DEAFNESS.—In a communi cation in last week's Lancet, from Mr. Curtii, the surgeon to the Royal Dispensary for Diseases of the Ear, who, trom his situation, must have had great experience in this line of practice, an account is given of the employment of a new remedy for diseases of the ear, the value of which has been exemplified in several cases. After remarkine , on the pre valent mistake that these diseases are incurable, and the consequent neglect of them, to which he attributes the greater number of cases of deafness, he observes that one of the principal and most common causes of that malaiy, is a deficiency of the natural secretion, arising from a want of action in the ceruminous glands, on removal of which the deafness generally disappears. For the purpose of effecting this, Mr. Curtis has lately employed a solution of creosote, the application of which does not cause any pain or smarting sensation, the only sensible effect produced being a feeling of agreeable warmth. This preparation excites the ac ion of the glands, and causes an abundant secretion of ccrumen, thereby restoring hearing. MATCH AGAINST TIME.—On Monday last, a person well known in Huddersfield as the first Mayor of the town, undertook for a wager of 5/. to ride his own mare " Soldier," to York and back, a distance of eighty miles, in twenty-four hours. As he is a heavy man, and with saddle, &c., weighed about seventeen stone, it was considered almost impossible without a break doA n, the mare rising fifteen years old. He started at eight o'clock on Monday morning from the Green Dragon Inn, and arrived at York by half -past four in the afternoon, and after refreshing him self and his faithful" Soldier," left the city at eight o'clock, and finally arrived at the Green Dragon just as the church clock was striking five ; thus having three hours to spare. Both rider and mare appeared not to have been distressed. " THE ONLY DAUGHTER," EDITED BY THE AUTHOR OF THE " SUBALTERN."--Any work to which Mr. Gleig would venture to prefix his popular name, must necessarily command a large share of public attention ; and in the instance of " The Only Daughter" that attention will be amply repaid. This production belongs to that de lightful and most truly English class of works usually de scribed as domestic novels ; and it is worthy to take its rank at once among the most pleasing and instructive of those works. As an earnest of the future literary career of which it forms the outset, it is still more calculated to ex cite the public interest. Female readers, in particular, will, for the credit of their sex, take " The Only Daughter" at once under their peculiar care. The General Steam Navigation Company's packet, he Columbine, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom Horse on Sunday ; and the John Bull, from Hamburg, yesterday morning. That portion of Oxford-street lately selected by the Marylebone Vestry for the purpose of testing the ma terial of the various bitumen and other companies is rapidly progressing towards completion. Messrs. Robinson and Claridge have already completed their respective allot ments of the space, which is being followed by the plan of the Bastenne Gaujac Bitumen Company, the principle of which is similar to that of Robinson's, consisting of oblong blocks of about one foot in length by six inches wide studded with pieces of broken granite. It is understood that when the portion to be done by this Company shall be completed, Mr. Stead will be prepared immediately to follow with his experiment of the wooden block pavement, upon the principle in use at St. Petersburg and New York. For this purpose a large space has been left between the Bastenne Company's experiment and the parish stone paving of the ordinary description, which was commenced being laid down under the superintendence of Mr. Scaice, the surveyor. It is to be laid upon a superior bottom, and the interstices are to be filled up with the usual modern mode of grouting with lime, sand, &c. The whole work is ex pected to be completed and ready for the thoroughfare to be thrown open within the space of three or four weeks. An inquest adjourned from Wednesday was held last night at the Elephant and Castle public-house, Cam den Town, on the body of a gentleman, name unknown, supposed to be a foreigner, who was found in the canal near that place. The face of the deceased was dreadfully disfigured, evidently from a pistol-shot, and in making an examination of the body a medical gentleman discovered a bul:et lodged in the skull, in a position which it would have taken up had the pistol been discharged into de- ceased's mouth. Death must have been instantaneous, and if inflicted by the man's own hand he must have been standing close by the water at the time. No pistol, how ever, has been found near where the body was discovered, although a bullet mould and some percussion caps were found on the person of the deceased. No document of any kind was in his pockets, the only other article being a snuff-box of the kind usually called Lawrence Kirk boxes, with the maker's name on the inside of the lid. The jury returned a verdict—That deceased came by his death from a pistol-shot, but how inflicted there was no evidence to show. From appearances the body must have been in the water for several weeks, as it was much decomposed. The bullet mould, &c., were paced in the hands of the parish beadle for identification. THE NORTHERN YACHT SUPPOSED SAFE.-- A Dundee correspondent writes us as follows, in reference to the Northern Yacht :—" Captain Simpson of the Ceres of this port arrived here to-day (Tuesday) from Memel, with flax, and reports that the people of Mandal informed him that the Northern Yacht had arrived at Christian Sand safely, and that the crew and passengers were all well. Such are the accounts entered in the Newsroom Shipping-list of this day"(27th November). We join with our correspond ent, and with our readers, in fervent hope that the news are true, but yet we sadly doubt the likelihood of them being so. The first thing the captain and passengers of the Yacht would have done, had they arrived at a port, would have been to advise their friends of their safety ; and such letters ought to have reached this long since by the Hamburg steamers. It may, however, prove otherwise, and Heaven grant that it do so.—FVeshire Journal. An inquest was held upon the body of Mrs. Blayle, who was shot by Abraham Hilliard, as before detailed, and, after an investigation of about three hours, the jury re turned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Abraham Hil liard, and the Coroner issued his warrant for his committal upon the charge. An inquest was held on Saturday at Spitalfields Workhouse on the body of William Moss, a pauper, aged 76 years, who was killed on Wednesday evening last by a stack of chimneys being blown down during the storm. A verdict of Accidental death was returned. WHOLESALE ROBBERS.—The Dodds, who are twin brothers, and have lived in great respectability as far mers, at Whithouse Farm, Hatfield Broad Oak, and who were lately taken into custody for stealing two bullocks from Mr. Millbank, of High Easter, have been discovered to be the receivers of stolen property, principally cattle, to a very great amount. On searching their place, twenty sheep and lambs, belonging to Mr. Bentall, of Brick-house, and the skins of three other bullocks, were found in a field near the house, and nearly sixty stone of beef and pork, cut up by a person who was not a butcher, was discovered in an outhouse. Under some pea-haulms were found up wards of a hundred turkeys, fowls, geese, &c., some alive, some smothered, and others with their heads off. Most of these were recognised as the fruits of recent robberies. Coe, and Mary Andrews, their housekeepers, were ex amined with them at Duinow, but the Magistrates ex cluded the public from the Court.—ChelmsforiC'hronicle. PAUPER LUNATICS.—The subjoined letter was published by the Times, to the editor of which journal it is addressed : Sir—On the 24th instant, in an article relating to the Kensington Union treatment of pauper lunatics, you state the Chairman then put the amendment, when there ap peared seven for it and seven against it, when the Chairman, gave a second vote against it, on which it was declared lost. The Guardian who sent the statement should have ad hered to truth. It was lost by eight voting against it, and seven for it. The casting vote I gave was in favour of a motion (when it was moved that the names should be taken down), which enabled the Guardian to give them. To suit his statement, he suppressed the name of one gentle man who voted against the amendment. Trusting you will favour me by allowing me the advan tage of correcting a misrepresentation, I am, Sir, you most obedient servant, ROBERT GUNTER, Chairman of the Board of Guardians of the Kensington Union.
